Pro-Kid Policy Plan

Children are our state’s greatest resource, and the decisions our leaders make about them impact our collective future. Voices for Children in Nebraska has developed the following Pro-Kid Policy Plan, focusing on the issues of child welfare, economic stability, health, and juvenile justice. Our policy priorities are guided by research, data, and proven best practices that improve child well-being. We pay close attention to the impact of race, socioeconomic status, and geography, and seek to remove barriers to opportunity within these areas.

This plan represents our vision for a Nebraska where strong communities allow all children to thrive.

Children and families have access to affordable, quality physical and behavioral health care. Consistent and preventive health care gives children the best start to grow up to be healthy and productive adults.
